Molly Shaffer Van Houweling

This talk will explore the ways in which changes in the architecture of communications technologies call into question the doctrinal approaches the Supreme Court and lower courts have taken to constitutional conflicts between speakers and property owners--that is, First Amendment challenges to legal regimes protecting real, personal, and intellectual property. If we want to take these First Amendment questions seriously, and we should, it may be time to recalibrate the doctrine machine.
